Palo Santo Marron

Brown Ale - Imperial / Double

An unfiltered, unfettered, unprecedented brown ale aged in handmade wooden brewing vessels. The caramel and vanilla complexity unique to this beer comes from the exotic Paraguayan Palo Santo wood from which these tanks were crafted. Palo Santo means "holy tree" and its wood has been used in South American wine-making communities.

Like that somewhat disturbing dream where you had to gnaw your way out of a barrel…

Still convinced this is just a barleywine in disguise. So much raisin, toffee and chocolate

The closest weve gotten to raison d’etre. Delicious! Balanced. Not highly carbonated. Sweeter side

On the bottle, it says, “At 10,000 gallons each, these are the largest wooden brewing vessels built in America since before Prohibition. It’s all very exciting. We have wood. Now you do, too.“

Fantastic imperial ale, the aging in wood barrels add a unique taste, with some subtle caramel flavors and slight booziness

Somehow I found this in Iowa City. It’s been a while. Still smooth, mild booziness (for 12%!), love that woody goodness

I absolutely love how it hits every flavor on the head. Insanely smooth for 12% as well. One of my all time favorite browns!

The last of a 4 pack I purchased right after landing in the States back on 11/24. I only have one when I know it’s time. One of the greats, in my opinion.
